The Global Fuel Economy Initiative (GFEI):

opportunities for cooperation

International Conference:

Improving fuel economy and reduction of emissions from road transport

17-18 June 2014 , Moscow

UNEP: Transport Unit

The Global Fuel Economy Initiative (GFEI)Mission: Facilitate large reductions of greenhouse gas emissions and oil use through improvements in automotive fuel economy in the face of rapidly growing car use worldwide, as per IPCC and G8 recommendations.

GFEI Approach

1. Analysis: Data, modeling, baseline, projections

2. Options: feebate, labeling, standard?

3. National strategy development, dialogues

4. Awareness, communication

Global light-duty vehicle stock could triple between 2005 and 2050

Almost all growth is in developing countries

2035: ~ 2 x 2011

2050: ~ 2.5 x 2011

Russia, #7• Attractive market: low vehicle density (260/1000 vs.

532/1000 in Germany) + aged car fleet (~12 yrs)• Growing incomes: SUV segment, luxury, compact city

ICCT, 2012

“India, along with Australia and Russia now remain the three largest markets without an official fuel efficiency target.”

Reducing GHG emissions from road transport in Russia’s medium-sized cities:

Russian Urban Sustainable Transport (RUST)

• GEF-supported, 2012-2017• Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation

(MoT), Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MoNRE), Tatarstan Ministry of Transport (TMoT), Kaliningrad Administration (KA), Ministry of Interior

• UNEP/GFEI to work with MoT to address increased use of energy efficient vehicles in Russia.

RUST, 2• Outcome 1: Approved and enforced supportive federal policies,

regulations, and institutional arrangements to increase the use of low emission vehicles :

• Conduct of a national public/private dialogue on practical policy and technology solutions for Russia and begin the work of designing, for example, a national vehicle labeling scheme, supporting fee-bate systems, a specific technology mandate for low emission vehicles in Russia, import restrictions, a federal fuel economy standard;

• Development of an approved “technology road map” specific to low emission vehicles, including HEVs, EVs and PHEVs, zooming in on the potential market in Russia and using past IEA global analysis in the hybrid and electric vehicles sector;

• Assessment of incentive policy options to encourage individual vehicle owners to become more energy efficient through increased use of low emission vehicles;

• Drafting legal framework for enabling access to low emission vehicles

• Regulatory• Standards

• Economic• Feebate• Registration Tax

• Information• Labeling

• Europe• North America• Africa• Latin America• Asia• Middle East

• Baseline• Finance• FE Resources
